Abstract
|
|
|
The Western medicine tends to be more analytical, local and peripheral, while the concept of the Oriental medicine philosophy more comprehensive, central and wholistic. Therefore the combination of both medical concepts can create a new paradigm of medicine, that is "Holistic medicine".
Recently the author has hit upon "Stress Disease" created from the viewpoint of "Holistic medicine".
In conclusions:
1. I clarified that essential hypertension and Type Ⅱ diabetes are caused by a common pathophysiological mechanism, that is "stress"
2. I advocated the creation of "Stress Disease", as a new medical concept.
3. "Stress Disease" is a disease entity which comprises essential hypertension and Type Ⅱ diabetes.
4. Stress reaction can be divided into the hemodynamic changes and metabolic ones, the former induces essential hypertension and the latter induces TypeⅡdiabetes.
5. Stress induces hyperlipidemia which causes atherosclerosis and accentuates the occurrence of cerebral infarction and coronary artery diseases.
6. The stress reactions are exaggerated in persons possessing sympathico-dominant constitution. This constitution will be inherited.
7. The creation of the stress disease will initiate a new chapter for the development of human diseases, esp, psycho-somatic medicine.
